This discussion is probably worth only about one opening and closing sentence (combined), considering the subject is USAPA, and considering the fact that everyone here fully understands (as stated above) that the real issue has nothing to do with market concentration in DC, and everything to do with pilot positions in New York, which in turn implies that there will be little point in anyone outside USAPA (and amateur economists) needlessly wasting bandwidth arguing market concentration issues, but all kinds of interest from the West side in reminding the East what boobs they are, and vice-versa, as this thread evolves, as everything involving USAPA, into abject failure and raw hatred.
